Description
Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to present Crosty, a spacious family home nestled in the Dublin Mountains. Extending to approximately 3,500 sq.ft (325 sq.m), this superb detached dormer-style property sits on a secluded, sheltered site of approximately 0.4 acres. This deceptively spacious home offers a variety of features, including breathtaking panoramic views over the surrounding countryside and proximity to country walking trails.
Originally built before 1964, this charming cottage has been completely transformed into a modern family home. Thoughtful upgrades include a utility room, a second floor, and extensive renovations, all aimed at capturing the surrounding picturesque views from nearly every window. The design of the house focuses on maximizing natural light and enhancing the connection between the interior and the scenic outdoors.
The living room is a standout feature of the home, offering large sliding doors that open to stunning panoramic views of the Dublin hills. This room is further enhanced by a unique Le Droff-style brick chimney breast and a wood-panelled ceiling, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Across the hall, the spacious open plan kitchen / dining room / family room is certainly the hub of the home and offers great space for family living and entertaining. The kitchen has been newly fitted, adding a contemporary and modern feel to this quaint home, There is a wood burning stove in the family room giving it a homely cosy feel and two sets of sliding doors that open to the beautifully maintained rear garden.
The master bedroom, located on the ground floor, spans the entire width of the house and includes en-suite facilities. This striking space offers stunning views of the garden through three large windows. A second spacious double bedroom with en-suite facilities and a guest WC are also located on the ground floor.
Upstairs, a feature wooden staircase leads to further living accommodation, which includes another double bedroom with en-suite facilities, three single bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a large family room. This versatile space incorporates a kitchenette, a living area, and a substantial office area, ideal for those working from home or needing a dedicated office space within the main living quarters.
Crosty is located on Cruagh Road, one of Rathfarnham's most sought-after addresses, offering the perfect blend of tranquillity and convenience. The property is surrounded by stunning woodlands, and numerous nature trails are just a few minutes away. Despite its peaceful setting, you're only a 5-10-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of city life. There is an excellent choice of amenities in both Rathfarnham and Dundrum, including a range of nearby schools such as Rockbrook Park, St. Columba's College, Santa Maria College, and Edmondstown and Whitechurch National Schools. Additionally, shopping facilities are readily available in Knocklyon, Rathfarnham, Ballinteer, and at Dundrum Town Centre.
The front garden features a tarmac driveway leading to a carport, with a charming gate and pebbled pathway guiding you to the front door. The pathway is flanked by lush lawns, bordered with mature trees and hedging, providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Two side entrances offer access to the private and secluded rear garden, which boasts a spacious rolling lawn, mature trees, and a paved and pebbled patio area just outside the kitchen door. A wooden shed offers convenient storage space.
The grounds offer a peaceful retreat, where the soothing sounds of nature and birdsong provide a serene and tranquil setting.
Sporting enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Rathfarnham, Edmondstown, and Grange Golf Clubs, as well as Marley Park and two nearby horse-riding stables. For outdoor lovers, the Dublin Mountain trails for biking and hiking are just a short walk away, offering incredible views over Dublin City, the Bay, and into County Wicklow. The trails begin in Tibradden and Cruagh Woods, with the newly opened Zipit Adventure Centre providing fun for children.
The property also benefits from excellent transport links, with the M50 just 5 minutes away and local bus routes (15, 15B, 61, and 161) nearby. Balally Luas Park and Ride is a 15-minute drive away, offering easy access to Dublin city centre for those without parking facilities.
